Right so GirlyReaderSqeak and I were discussing ideas for this story and one is super... ummm... interesting.
Hephaestus is a mob boss, so Leo knows some of his skills. Leo hires some thugs to kidnap Nico so Leo can save them.
I would be delighted if someone wrote this, just send me the link so I can read it. You can use the idea if you want to.
